Chapter 383: Unrealistic Extravagant Hopes
Whether it is 2008 or 2013, the life status of group performances is actually similar.
There is drama and drama, but there is no drama, drinking, playing cards, bragging, and sleeping.
It's all hard-earned money.
There is neither a young and beautiful boss lady, nor the opportunity to try out for a big company.
When I was lying in bed at night, looking at Zhou Jin's poster at the head of the bed, I wondered why I wanted to come to be a group performer.
Not everyone has the same luck as Zhou Jin.
So Zhou Jin became a god and became the god second only to Stephen Chow in the hearts of Hengdian group performances.
I don't know how many young people listened to Zhou Jin's story, and their brains were hot, so they came to Hengdian with their bags.
Xu Kai is one of them.
However, he was lucky, because he looked a little similar to Zhou Jin, and he was also down-to-earth, so he was accepted by Er Dongzi.
At this time, when he saw the living Zhou Jin standing in front of him, he was so excited that he couldn't even finish his words.
"Teacher Zhou, I, I'm your fan...... I love your movie......"
"Okay, okay, sit down ...... first"
Zhou Jin shook hands with this guy, and inexplicably had a feeling of being in the countryside to condole.
The rental house was quite narrow, there was only one chair, which naturally belonged to Zhou Jin to sit on, Xu Kai sat on the bed, and Er Dongzi had to get a small horse to sit on the side.
The house is not big, similar to what Zhou Jin lived in back then, but it is a lot messy, and the quilt is not folded.
Next to the bed was a desk with a laptop on it, as well as uneaten buckets of instant noodles, wrappers of ham sausages, broken bones of chicken feet, and most conspicuously, a stack of unopened movie discs.
"Mr. Zhou, in fact, I am also an actor," Xu Kai embarrassedly pulled the quilt aside, and pulled out the yellowed "Actor's Self-cultivation" from under the pillow.
"I heard a lot of stories from Brother Dong, and I also bought a lot of books to read back, and I want to be an actor......"
The guy looked both excited and cramped.
Zhou Jinte smiled kindly, "Can you understand this book?"
"Look, I don't understand......" Xu Kai told the truth.
"Then don't look at it, even Xing Ye himself can't stand it. Zhou Jin smiled, as if he saw himself again.
If you really want to talk about the stars who have the greatest influence on domestic group performances, Wang Baoqiang and Zhou Jin are estimated to have to move back, and the first place has to be Zhou Xingchi.
I don't know how many group performers feel that they are the next Yin Tianqiu, and they don't care if they love acting or not, anyway, they will buy a copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation" first.
In fact, according to Zhou Jin's own experience, this book is a bit outdated, and if it is used to get started, it is not as practical as Nortel's own "Performance Training Method".
After getting started, I have accumulated enough experience, and if I want to go further, I can't rely on reading books.
It depends on a deep understanding of human nature, life, and philosophy.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Xu Kai looked at Zhou Jin's face, and finally couldn't help asking, "Teacher Zhou, do you think I have a chance?"
Zhou Jin didn't even have to think about this question, and shook his head directly, "No, there will be no from now until the destruction of the universe." ”
Xu Kai's eyes suddenly darkened.
Shouldn't this kind of successful predecessor be encouraged?
"This has nothing to do with whether your acting skills are good or not, the main thing is that you are not good enough. ”
Zhou Jin didn't care about the other party's careful thinking, and sneered again.
It's not that he's ruthless, or his emotional intelligence is low, but that the actor's profession is too cruel.
Wang Baoqiang is one in a million examples, time, luck, and life.
Since him, entering the era of traffic, it is almost impossible for group performances to get a chance to get ahead.
Otherwise, there are so many students in Nortel and Chinese opera a year, why are they not popular, so you will be popular with a group performance that is not very handsome.
Hearing Zhou Jin say this, Xu Kai sat on the bed, as if he was splashed with a basin of cold water last winter, which was called a cold heart.
Because he knew that Zhou Jin was telling the truth.
Er Dongzi sat on the side and didn't persuade at all.
In the past, he was still full of ambition, pouring chicken soup into the group performers under him, and asked Zhou Jin to live a life for the 40,000 horizontal drifters.
Because he still has to point to these group performers to make money.
Now that Zhou Jin is on fire, Er Dongzi also holds tens of millions of bitcoins in his hand, so his mentality is naturally different.
Looking at these enthusiastic young people, I just want to pull back one by one.
This kind of idea is to put it in layman's terms, that is, Laliang's family goes into the water and persuades prostitutes to be good.
"Okay, do you want to do anything else besides acting?" Zhou Jin asked.
Xu Kai smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Brother Dong, who had always been good to him, would bring his idol to pour cold water on him.
"Actually, I, I don't like acting that much, I like movies...... I'm starting to write a script now, and I want to shoot it someday. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Kai's eyes had a little light, and he said very sincerely: "Really, I think about this in my dreams at night!"
Zhou Jin looked at him and said sincerely, "Do you have any other dreams?"
Making a movie?
This is even more unreliable than being an actor.
Xu Kai shook his head, "I am 24 years old this year, and I will listen to my father in the future, there is only one thing, that is, I came to Hengdian, it was my own idea, if I don't fight, I am unwilling." ”
The aura in his eyes was almost exactly the same as Zhou Jin back then.
It's no wonder that Erdongzi admires him.
"Zhenli, I'm not talking nonsense, I wrote a script myself," Xu Kai squatted down and pulled out a wad of copy paper under his desk.
"This is a horror film written by myself, and the "Ghost Record" in the United States only made $15,000, and finally won 200 million box office ......"
"Do you think you're okay?" Zhou Jin looked at him and felt surprised.
This kid doesn't look like he's all daydreaming, but he still knows how to use horror movies to fight big with small.
"Can I take a look?"
"You criticize and criticize," Xu Kai said with both hands.
Zhou Jin took the stack of A4 paper and looked at it, only to see two big characters handwritten on the homepage: evil spirit.
There is also a doll's smiling face painted next to it, which is also hand-painted, with the words "evil spirit", which is really a bit infiltrating.
Zhou Jin has never watched horror movies, and with this rough script, it's really hard to open it.
Er Dongzi glanced at the Rolex on his wrist and said to Zhou Jin: "Look back, it's not too early, don't you still have to go to the crew?"
Zhou Jin just went down the slope and closed the script, "Okay, I'll take this back, if you have an idea, I'll tell Brother Dong." ”
Xu Kai naturally had no opinion, politely sent the two away, returned to the rental house and sat quietly for a while, disassembled the stack of discs, plugged them into the computer's optical drive, and clicked play.
He came to Hengdian for a year, and in addition to eating, drinking, and rent, most of the money he earned was used to buy movie discs.
Two a day, never stop.
It doesn't matter if he understands it or not, he knows that he just has to see it.
Sometimes it's easy to have some ideas, but you don't even have someone to share them with.
Zhou Jin is the first professional he has met who can really communicate.
handed over his copy of the script to Zhou Jin, although he knew that it was impossible, he couldn't help but have some extravagant hopes in his heart.
What if, what if the other party has a discerning eye?
After coming out of the rental house, Zhou Jin didn't rush to leave, and took a general turn in the building again, and through the window, he could basically judge the living conditions of those group performers.
He shook his head and sighed, "Why bother. ”
If you don't look handsome enough, moving bricks is better than being a group performer.
Er Dongzi knew his thoughts, and said: "I can't complain about you, even if they don't do group performances, they can't do anything else, this person is such a fuck, you have to accept your fate." ”
"You're living a transparent life now," Zhou Jin patted his big belly, "But coming here today gave me an idea, what if I used these group performances as material to make a movie?"
At the beginning, they drummed up "Flower Thousand Bone", but in the end, it was gone, because their strength was not enough.
But that's no longer the case.
Erdongzi also felt quite novel, "Just these goods, they can also be made into movies, what do you want to make?"
Zhou Jin thought for a while, "Just an actress, she admires the star master, thinks about playing the king of comedy every day, and messes around in the crew, she has fallen out with her family for this, and she still doesn't want to give up." ”
Later, on a rainy night, she was hit by a big truck and became a vegetative person, and in her dream she realized her dream, became a heroine, and became a movie queen...... Well, you can call her like a dream. ”
Er Dongzi teased: "You are going to shoot "The King of New Comedy", you are better than the star." ”
"No, no, no, "The New King of Comedy" is too earthy, our movie can be called ......"
"What's it called?" asked Erdongzi.
Zhou Jin's eyes rolled, "How about calling "I Am Passerby A"? We can call those brothers back together, in addition to Rumeng, they also want to be the protagonists." ”
"I'm just a few heads, and you're still the protagonist? I see that you are returning to your hometown, and you have no place to make money, and you are starting to toss ...... poor."
Er Dongzi was particularly disdainful, and struck a few words hard, but Zhou Jin didn't care.
After the two said goodbye, Er Dongzi went straight home, but he couldn't help but be restless in his heart, Zhou Jin's proposal was like a small flame, constantly stirring him.
On the other side, Zhou Jin calmed down, put away the script, put on sunglasses, called a taxi, and went straight to the set.
He couldn't bear it anymore, and he wanted to see the person he wanted to accompany and protect.
All parting is for a better meeting.
